## Description

About the company

Our client is a fast-growing software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Design and build high-volume backend services and integrations that connect legacy business systems to modern software, with some front-end work as well. You will own features end to end, ship code frequently and adjust based on direct customer feedback.

What you'll do

\- Design scalable backend services that present many differing external systems through one consistent interface.

\- Build secure, reliable connections to older on-premises systems, including real-time communication where none exists natively.

\- Handle very large request volumes, with efficient data storage and retrieval and caching to keep latency low.

\- Create automated testing frameworks that catch edge cases and regressions across a large number of endpoints.

\- Research the quirks of each new system integration in depth before building on it.

\- Build front-end applications that use the company's own APIs, and feed what you learn back into API design.

\- Ship code daily and iterate quickly using feedback from paying customers.

## Requirements

What we're looking for

\- A bachelor's degree in computer science; bootcamp-only backgrounds are not a fit.

\- Evidence of standout achievement, such as a strong academic record, success at a respected startup or other notable accomplishments.

\- Recent experience at a small technology startup, or a clear interest in joining one.

\- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure such as AWS.

\- A genuine interest in core backend and platform engineering rather than a primary focus on working with AI.

\- A proactive, accountable and humble working style, with enthusiasm for raising engineering standards in a quick-moving team.

\- Willingness to work in person five days a week.

Bonus points

\- A computer science degree from a top-ranked undergraduate program in the US or Canada.
